Ingredients
- 1 whole (3 pound) cantaloupe (cut into cubes or in scooped in small balls)
- 10 to 12 ounces cherry tomatoes (cut in half, 1/2-3/4 pt, 1 pt is approximately 10-12 oz, you only need 12-15 tomatoes)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup basil, torn
- 1/8 cup mint, torn
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (grape seed is also very good)
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
How to Make
-
Step 1: Cantaloupe ... Cut the melon in half and remove the seeds. You can dice the cantaloupe; or, use a melon baller which I do. Then, add the melon to a serving bowl.
-
Step 2: Tomatoes ... Add about 1/2-3/4 of a pint; however, use as many as you want. Simply cut them in half; and, add to the cantaloupe.
-
Step 3: Finish ... Add the basil and mint, olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper; and, toss to combine. Finish by adding the Feta cheese; and, toss once again.
-
Step 4: Serve and ENJOY! ... I actually prefer to serve this lightly or even room temperature; rather than ice cold. It is a great salad for a potluck, picnic, BBQ; or, any family dinner. It's just a perfect summer salad.
